A new species of portunid crab of the genus Charybdis (De Haan, 1833) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) from Goa, India
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)A new species of portunid crab, Charybdis (Charybdis) goaensis sp. nov. is described from Goa, west coast of India. It differs from its closest congener, Charybdis (Charybdis) philippinensis in possessing bluntly triangular ... -
A Preliminary Account on the Distribution of Decapod Larvae in the Konkan Waters
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Decapod larval distribution in Konkan coastal waters was studied during the premonsoon season (March-April). Sergestid was the largest group forming 80.55% of the total decapod crustacean larvae. Penaeid larvae constituted ... -
A study on the zooplankton of the Burhabalanga Estuary, Orissa Coast
(Indian National Science Academy, 1996)Annual variations in the zooplankton biomass and composition during 1991-92 were studied from the inshore, mouth and upstream regions of the Burhabalanga Estuary located in the Orissa Coast (India). Zooplankton biomass was ... -
Adult Artemia as food for juvenile prawns
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1987)Feeding experiments on three commercially important shrimps Penaues indicus, Metapenaeus dobsoni and M. monoceros were carried out using adult Artemia as feed. Good growth and food conversion efficiencies were recorded at ... -
Anisomysis Laccadivei, A new Mysid from Laccadives
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1981)Full description of Anisomysis laccadivei sp. nov. from Laccadives is given. During a taxonomic study of the mysidacea of the Laccadives a new species belonging to the genus Anisomysis Hansen was collected and is described ... -
Antimicrobial lipids from the hemolymph of brachyuran crabs
(Springer, 2010)The potential of marine crabs as a source of biologically active products is largely unexplored. In the present study, antimicrobial activity of the hemolymph (plasma) and hemocytes (plasma cells) of six brachyuran crabs ... -
Bathymetric distribution of Pleuromamma (Copepoda, Calanoida) species in the Indian Ocean
(ICAR, New Delhi, 1991)Based on the analysis of 204 zooplankton samples from the stratified depths in the Indian Ocean collected during the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE), the distribution of the genus Pleuromamma indica, P. gracilis, ... -
Biochemical composition of muscle tissue of penaeid prawns
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1984)Biochemical composition of muscle tissue of females belonging to four species of penaeid prawns, viz. Metapenaeus affinis, M. dobsoni, Penaeus merguiensis and Parapenaeopsis stylifera, inhabiting the coastal waters of Goa, ... -
Chromosomal aberrations found in Paracalanus aculeatus (Giesbrecht) at the time of solar eclipse
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1982)Chromosomal aberrations in the form of an unequal heteromorphic homologous pair and a supernumerary chromosome were observed in the gonad of a copepod - @iParacalanus aculeatus@@ after being exposed to the total solar ... -
Chromosomal studies in Penaeus aztecus Ives prawn larvae
(Indian Association for Limnology and Oceanography, 1985)Larvae of prawn Penaeus aztecus showed a diploid number of 88 chromosomes. The karyotype formula is 18 sM + 18 M + 52 A. The chromosomes have a size range of 0.30 to 3.12 mu m -
Cladocera in the Estuarine and Coastal Waters of South-West Coast of India
